Cost of Attendance

Cost of Attendance (COA) includes tuition, fees, and modest living expenses associated with attending APU.

Estimated Cost of Attendance for Graduate Students

Here is an example of COA for a graduate student, living off campus and attending traditional 16-week fall and spring terms at APU:

8 Months Cost of Attendance

Books and Supplies	$1,024
Board (Food)	$5,096
Loan Fees	$288
Personal Expenses	$3,488
Room	$10,712
Transportation	$832
Tuition	varies
Total Budget Excluding Tuition and Fees	$21,440

If your program unit cost is $700 per unit and you are taking 20 units, your tuition will be $14,000 ($700 x 20).

Example of fall and spring: $21,440 (living expenses) + $14,000 (tuition) = $35,440 total COA.¹

Estimated Cost of Attendance for Professional Students

Here is an example of COA for a professional student, living off campus and attending traditional 16-week fall and spring terms at APU:

Personal Expenses	$3,488
